Podcasts about Pharaoh

Read Revelation 14:1-16:21.The confrontation between God and Pharaoh in Exodus foreshadowed an even greater conflict still to come. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef turns to Revelation 16, where seven bowls of judgment are poured out upon a rebellious world and the kingdom of the Antichrist.These judgments echo the plagues of Egypt on a global scale: painful sores, seas and rivers turned to blood, scorching heat, supernatural darkness, upheaval surrounding the Euphrates, and finally catastrophic destruction as a voice from heaven declares, “It is done!”Dr. Youssef explains that Revelation presents the ultimate collision between God's perfect justice and humanity's persistent rebellion. God has demonstrated extraordinary patience, but Scripture also teaches that judgment will not be postponed forever.Yet for believers, the message of Revelation is not one of fear but of confidence in Christ. At the cross, Jesus declared, “It is finished,” completing the work of redemption. In Revelation, the declaration “It is done” points toward the completion of God's judgment and the final defeat of Satan.No matter how chaotic world events may appear, God's purposes remain sovereign. Christ has paid the price for His people, evil will not prevail, and the victory of the King is certain.Prayer: Jesus, thank You that You have redeemed me and taken on the judgment I deserve. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.“Look, I come like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake and remains clothed, so as not to go naked and be shamefully exposed” (Revelation 16:15).Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

What if the problem in front of you is actually hiding an opportunity you haven't seen yet?I've been thinking a lot about how we see things because the way you see a situation can completely change how you respond to it. We're living in a time where there is so much uncertainty. AI is changing industries, markets are shifting, businesses are adjusting, and it would be really easy to look around and see nothing but problems.But here's what I believe: opportunities almost always come disguised as problems.In this episode of The You Are More Podcast, I'm talking about the story of the twelve spies and something that has been challenging me personally. Twelve people looked at the exact same Promised Land. They saw the same giants, the same obstacles, and the same circumstances. Ten came back convinced they couldn't do it. Two looked at those same giants and said, “We are well able. Let's go possess.”That's the difference perspective can make.Faith doesn't mean pretending the giant isn't there. It means refusing to make the giant bigger than God.I'm also sharing something that happened to me recently when I found myself talking about everything that felt hard—the uphill battles, the weariness, the things that weren't moving the way I wanted them to. Sometimes you need to get those things out, but I also knew I couldn't stay there. If all I rehearse are problems, eventually problems are all I'm going to see.So I had to ask myself: How am I seeing this?Maybe that's the question you need to ask too.When you don't know what to do, ask God for wisdom. When you're sitting in the boardroom and the answers aren't coming, ask Him. When the relationship feels tangled, ask Him. When the circumstances in front of you say there is no way, remember that you carry the divine genius of God on the inside of you.You do not have to figure everything out in your own strength.And when you start questioning whether you can move forward, go back and rehearse your victories. One of my dear friends used to tell me, “Amy, you and God have a good track record.”Maybe you need to remind yourself of your own track record with Him.Remember the door He opened. Remember the provision. Remember the thing you thought would never work out. Remember the season you weren't sure you would survive.Then take another step.When the Israelites were standing at the Red Sea with Pharaoh behind them, mountains around them, and water in front of them, God told them to go forward.Sometimes you don't need to see the entire path. You just need to move.In this episode, I'm also talking about why your perspective affects your words, your emotions, and ultimately your actions; how fear can sometimes disguise itself as wisdom; why timing and seasons matter; what Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego teach us about walking through the fire; and why sometimes you simply need to get your fight back.I think about David standing in front of Goliath. Everyone else saw an impossible problem. David remembered the lion. He remembered the bear. He remembered what God had already brought him through.He had history.And so do you.If you've been weary, uncertain, or beaten down by what's happening around you, I want this episode to help you get your “God's got me” back.God is not caught off guard by what you're facing. He has already gone before you. You don't have to navigate this season alone.So ask yourself:How am I seeing it?Am I only seeing the problem, or am I looking for the possibility?Am I staring at the giant, or am I remembering who is with me?Sometimes the opportunity has been hiding inside the problem the entire time.Keep moving. Keep believing. Keep walking.✨ Join me every Thursday morning at 6:00 AM Central for my 30-minute Zoom Bible study.

# Puah and Shiphrah: Courage, Quiet Defiance and the Power of Women of Faith | Women in the BibleWhat does it mean to stand for God when the world around you demands that you do otherwise? And can quiet, strategic obedience to God be just as powerful as bold, public acts of defiance?Found in Exodus 1, these two women lived during a time when the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt under the rule of Pharaoh. Faced with his horrific command to kill every Hebrew baby boy at birth, Puah and Shiphrah made a choice that demonstrated extraordinary courage. They feared God more than they feared the most powerful king on earth and refused to obey an order that went against His will.Their story teaches us that courage doesn't always have to be loud, visible or dramatic. We often think of biblical defiance through the example of Daniel, who openly stood firm in his faith. But Puah and Shiphrah show us another kind of courage: quiet, strategic and collective defiance. They worked together, using wisdom and discernment to protect innocent lives without Pharaoh knowing what they were doing.We explore the power of women coming together in faith, supporting one another and working behind the scenes to accomplish God's purposes. These women were likely leaders among the midwives, and their influence reminds us that some of the greatest acts of faithfulness happen away from the spotlight.When Pharaoh eventually summoned them to explain their actions, God gave them wisdom in their response. Their story reminds us that when we fear God above all earthly authority, He can equip us with the wisdom and courage we need to navigate difficult situations.**In this episode, we reflect on some powerful lessons from Puah and Shiphrah:**✨ **The courage to obey God:** What happens when the expectations of society, culture or the laws of the land conflict with God's Word? We learn the importance of standing firm in biblical truth, trusting that God will see us through.✨ **The power of quiet defiance:** Not every act of courage needs to be public or confrontational. Sometimes the most powerful resistance is quiet, strategic and rooted in obedience to God.✨ **The strength of women working together:** Puah and Shiphrah remind us of the incredible influence women can have when they unite in faith, purpose and a shared commitment to honouring God.✨ **God rewards obedience:** Their faithfulness did not go unnoticed. Exodus tells us that God dealt well with the midwives and established households for them. Their story demonstrates that God sees our obedience, even when the world does not.✨ **Wisdom in difficult circumstances:** We see how God can give us the words, discernment and wisdom we need when our faith is challenged.✨ **Our frontline is our ministry:** Perhaps one of the most important lessons from these women is that our greatest opportunity to serve God may not be behind a pulpit or within the walls of a church. It is often in the everyday spaces where He has placed us.Our workplaces, homes, communities, friendships and relationships are our frontlines. These are the places where we can demonstrate God's faithfulness, love, glory and mercy to the world.As Christians, when we each faithfully live out our calling on our individual frontlines, our collective influence can reach further into society than a pastor preaching for an hour on a Sunday ever could alone.Puah and Shiphrah remind us that ministry is not reserved for those with a platform, a title or a public voice. Every one of us has a God-given opportunity to make a difference right where we are.Their story challenges us to ask ourselves: **Are we honouring God in the everyday decisions we make? Are we willing to stand for His truth when it costs us something? And are we recognising our own frontline as a place of ministry?#BiblicalWomanhood #FaithAndCourage #ObedienceToGod #StandingOnGodsWord #QuietStrength #ChristianLiving #YourFrontlineIsYourMinistry #GodsFaithfulness

Abraham and Sarah arrive in Gerar, and Abraham tells everyone Sarah is his sister. She is, technically: his half-sister. She is also his wife (and one of the 4 most beautiful women ever to live). So when King Abimelech hears there's an unmarried woman in town, he has her brought to his palace. That night G-d appears to Abimelech in a dream with a warning: give her back or you die. By morning the orifices of his entire household are sealed shut, and he summons Abraham with one question, “What did you see, that you did this thing?”Abraham's answer is that there is no fear of G-d in this place. Rabbi Epstein calls it the crux of the whole passage, and he reads it as a direct challenge to a man who thinks of himself as righteous. If you decide for yourself what righteous means, you will never be righteous.Then comes a puzzle. This is the second time Sarah has been taken. Twenty-four years earlier, Pharaoh took her too, and G-d struck his household with a painful skin disease. Abimelech gets something else entirely. Same woman, same offense, different punishment. Why would G-d change it? Rabbi Epstein's answer comes from a teaching in the Talmud, and it changes how you read what happens to Abraham and Sarah next.

Yesterday we looked at one of the most sobering statements in2 Thessalonians chapter 2. Paul said that people will be deceived because: “theydid not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.” Today,verses 11 and 12 tell us what happens when people persistently reject God'struth. Paul writes that because of their rejection: “God will send themstrong delusion, that they should believe the lie.” Those are seriouswords. Atfirst, they may even trouble us. Why would God send a strong delusion? Theanswer is found in the context. These people have already been given the truth.They have rejected it. They have refused to believe it. They have chosenunrighteousness instead. Verse 12 says they: “did not believe the truthbut had pleasure in unrighteousness.” God isn't preventing sincerepeople from believing. These are people who have heard truth and deliberatelychosen the lie. Thereis a biblical principle here that appears throughout Scripture. When peoplecontinually reject God's light, eventually God allows them to experience theconsequences of the darkness they have chosen. Romans chapter 1 describespeople who knew God but refused to glorify Him as God. Three times in thatchapter we find the sobering expression: “God gave them up.” Theychose their way. And eventually God allowed them to have what they had chosen. Wesee something similar with Pharaoh in Exodus. Pharaoh repeatedly hardened hisheart against God. Eventually Scripture tells us that God hardened Pharaoh'sheart. That'swhy we should never treat God's truth casually. Every time God speaks to usthrough His Word, we have a choice. We can say: “Yes, Lord.” Or we canresist Him. And every “yes” makes it easier to say yes again. But everydeliberate “no” can make the next “no” easier too. Hebrews says: “Today,if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.” Notice thatword: Today. Not tomorrow. Not someday. Today. Thereis also an important lesson here for those of us who already know Christ. Welive in a world filled with information. We can turn on television or open ourphones and within seconds hear hundreds of voices telling us what to believe. Buttruth isn't determined by popularity. Truth isn't determined by opinion polls. Truthdoesn't change because culture changes. God's Word is truth. Jesusprayed to His Father in John 17:17: “Sanctify them by Your truth. Yourword is truth.” Sohow do we protect ourselves from deception? Know the Word. Read the Word. Studythe Word. Believe the Word. Obey the Word. The best protection against acounterfeit is becoming thoroughly familiar with the genuine article. Paul'swarning about future deception should cause us to love God's truth even moretoday. And there is one phrase in verse 12 that especially challenges me. They “hadpleasure in unrighteousness.” The problem wasn't simply intellectual. Itwas moral. Sometimes people reject God's truth not because there isn't enoughevidence, but because accepting God's truth would require them to change theway they live. Paulwrote in Romans 1:18-19: “For the wrath of God is revealed from heavenagainst all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth inunrighteousness ..."  Noticethat they suppressed the truth in unrighteousness. This means because of theirunrighteous or immoral and sinful living they refused to listen to the truth ofthe Gospel and Jesus and even attempted to destroy it.  Jesussaid in John 3 that men loved darkness rather than light because their deedswere evil. So today let's ask ourselves: Do I really love the truth? DoI want God to show me where I'm wrong? Am I willing to change when His Wordcorrects me? That's evidence of a heart that loves truth. My friend, truthmatters. And the greatest truth of all is Jesus Christ. Let's love Him. Let'slove His Word. Let's walk in His truth. And let's share that truth with a worlddesperately in need of it.

Lord, Seal September with Favor, Speed, And Open Doors! "You crown the year with Your goodness, and Your paths drip with abundance." Psalm 65:11 What if September does not end as a reminder of what was delayed, but as a testimony of what God completed, restored, and set in motion? Beloved, the Lord is able to seal this month with favor that cannot be denied, speed that cannot be explained, and doors that no person can shut. You may have entered this month carrying questions, waiting for answers, or fighting battles no one else could see. Yet God has not forgotten your labor, your tears, or your prayers. As this month closes, lift your eyes. The same God who brought you this far is able to crown your ending with His goodness. God is not limited by the calendar, the deadline, or the report that seems final. He can cause goodness to meet you at the end of any season. Think of Israel leaving Egypt: behind them was Pharaoh's army, and ahead of them was the Red Sea. But the Lord went before them. He made a way where there was no way, turning an impossible barrier into a pathway of deliverance (Exodus 14:21–22). The doors God opens may not always look familiar at first, but they lead according to His purpose. Isaiah 58:11 says, "The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail." Take this truth into your personal life today. Bring every unfinished matter to the Lord: the application still awaiting a response, the family burden, the health concern, the dream that feels delayed, the ministry assignment, and the private prayer you have prayed through tears. Do not surrender your expectation because the month is ending. Ask God for wisdom to recognize the doors He is opening and courage to walk through them. You do not have to enter the next season empty, exhausted, or afraid. The Lord will guide you. He will refresh you. He will strengthen you for what He has prepared. I declare over you: this September will be sealed with the fingerprints of God's favor. May delayed answers begin to move according to God's perfect will. May divine connections locate you. May clarity replace confusion, peace guard your heart, and holy momentum rise wherever you have felt stuck. Like Israel, you will not remain trapped between what is behind you and what stands before you. By faith, take the next obedient step—send the message, complete the task, make the call, forgive the offense, submit the application, return to prayer, and trust God with the outcome. Amen. Psalm 67:6 says, "The earth has yielded its harvest; God, our God, blesses us." Amen. Prayer for the Day!Father, in the mighty name of Jesus, crown this month with Your goodness. Seal September with divine favor, holy acceleration, and continual open doors. Where Your child has faced delay, bring Your perfect timing and clear direction. Where there has been weariness, renew strength. Where there has been confusion, release wisdom and peace. Launch us into this new quarter with hearts full of faith, hands ready to serve, and feet prepared to walk through every door You open. https://maglife.org

In the sixth week of our sermon series, The Gospel According to Joseph, we focus on Joseph's rise to leadership in Egypt: how he faithfully and effectively interprets Pharaoh’s dreams and credits God with providing a path of survival during the coming famine. Bishop Paul reminds us that Joseph's fruitful life ultimately points to what Jesus has done for us. We are God's fruit—the joy set before Jesus at the cross—and our lives can be faithful, effective, and fruitful because of him.

Hey ya'll welcome to the podcast and thanks for joining us. We are continuing on in our series through the faith hero's in Hebrews 11. Today we are continuing in the life of Joseph. We start at Genesis 47 Joseph present his father Jacob to Pharaoh, Jacob blesses Pharaoh and we get insight to the latter part of Jacobs life. Great insight in this chapter, get your bibles ready and your note books out. Lets be good students of Gods word!We pray this episode is a blessing to you and you are elevated in the word!

Men's Night - The In Between - Pastor TonderaiWhat are you picking up in the in between?God uses the in-between to form who we will be when we arrive.“The LORD was with Joseph.”Genesis 39:2, 21, 231. KNOW YOUR SOURCE.“I cannot do it… but God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires.”Genesis 41:16“Being male is a matter of birth. Being a man is a matter of choice.”— Edwin Louis Cole2. PROTECT WHAT YOU'RE BECOMING.“How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?”Genesis 39:9“A good name is more desirable than great riches…”Proverbs 22:1Just because you escaped your father's weakness doesn't mean you don't haveweaknesses of your own.3. LET CHARACTER CARRY YOUR GIFT.“The LORD was with Joseph…”Genesis 39:2–4Joseph didn't chase a title; he developed the character capable of carrying one.What was missing around you does not determine what God can develop within you.EGYPT → WILDERNESS → PROMISE“As a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you.”Deuteronomy 8:2, 5God brought Israel out of Egypt.Then He began getting Egypt out of Israel.I thought I was waiting for my father to change.I didn't realize my Father was changing me.Communication is the basis of life.Exchange is the process of life.Agreement is the power of life.— Edwin Louis ColeJoseph threw his arms around his father and wept for a long time.Genesis 46:29What I didn't receive does not have to become what I don't give.“…the God who has been my shepherd all my life to this day…”Genesis 48:15–16“I know, my son, I know.”Genesis 48:19Your healing does not have to wait for someone else's change.Father, what are You forming in me?Your father may have missed part of your story. Your Father hasn't missed a page.

The Bible tells us that at the beginning of the Israelites' 430-year stay in Egypt, they were well respected for Joseph's sake. Later, when the Egyptian leadership forgot how Joseph saved Egypt, it began making their lives difficult.One of the most enlightening archaeological finds from the period of Israel's captivity is a settlement called The Village of the Place of Truth. Excavators at the city have found homes, letters, notes, court records, work diaries and wills dating from this period. The village was home to those who built the royal tombs. While there is no evidence that the Israelites ever lived in the village, what has been found has revealed much about life in Egypt when Israel was there.We learn that Egypt had a tradition in which every citizen put in at least one year of service to the government. Those out of favor could be forced into years or even a lifetime of forced labor. It was considered an honor to work on the royal tombs, however, and it seems unlikely that the Israelites had much to do with them. The Bible tells us that the Israelites did, however, make bricks. That could include the very bricks that built the Village of the Place of Truth. Finally, we learn that pigs were a staple among such workers, which certainly would be repugnant to the Israelites.Archaeologists have concluded that the Biblical record of Israel's stay in Egypt has too many accurate details about Egypt to be nothing more than a legend.Exodus 3:7“And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows.”Prayer: I thank You, Lord, for knowing my sorrows and bringing me salvation.

Out of Egypt: Part 3 - Jonathan Hurshman - a2cc.org. Watch our livestream Sundays @ 11:00am - vimeo.com/annarborcommunitychurch  Summary:  Jonathan Hurshman brilliantly walks us through Acts 6:1-7, exploring how the ways of Pharaoh are still showing up thousands of years later in how the church takes care of its most vulnerable. He points out how giving power away to the least powerful brought some of the most powerful, the priests, into the community of Jesus followers. The apostles defy Pharaoh's ways by sharing power, refusing to separate, and charting a course of mutuality. Following Jesus is indeed the good life, but it is not the easy life. Jonathan challenges us to practice discomfort for the sake of loving each other across our differences and prioritizing unity.  

What happens when God leads you to a place where only He can make a way?Sometimes following God doesn't lead us down the easiest road—it leads us straight into situations where there seems to be no way forward. As Israel leaves Egypt, God deliberately chooses their path, leading them toward the sea while Pharaoh and his army close in behind them.In Part 1 of When God Leads Us Through the Sea, we see that God's way is not always the shortest way, and that God sometimes leads us into places we would never choose for ourselves. But a difficult road doesn't mean we took a wrong turn. Sometimes the place that feels like a dead end is exactly where God intends to reveal who He is.Israel has reached the sea. Pharaoh is coming. There appears to be nowhere to go.

The same power that we witness in Exodus and in the resurrection of Jesus is still with us today. In this message, Pastor T dives into what it means that Pharaoh's heart was hardened and its reflection on sin and repentance. Connect with us: @ascentchurchvaConnect with our Lead Pastor: @pastor.tlaneIf you've just made a decision for Christ, we'd love to celebrate with you.

Sermon Outline: "When Who He Is Meets Where You Are" I. Grace in the Mundane & For the Assignment Meeting God in the Everyday: God does not just appear in high-profile moments; He meets believers in the routine, daily rhythms of life (00:48:44). Grace Arrives at the Step of Faith: Illustrating through personal testimonies (preaching in San Juan, Puerto Rico to 8,000 people) and a Miss America ticket analogy, Pastor Rhonda emphasized that grace for an assignment is released when you step through the door, not beforehand (00:50:13). The Exam Already Passed: Sharing a story about a Bible college professor who marked all exam answers correct in red ink, illustrating that righteousness and spiritual victory are gifts given because Christ took the test for us (00:52:59). II. Moses at the Burning Bush (Exodus 3:1–14) Outliving Past Consequences: After 40 years on the backside of the desert in Midian (14,600 days), Moses thought his story was over due to past murder and rejection. God demonstrated that a wilderness season cannot cancel His purpose (00:56:32). Holy Ground Wherever You Step: When Moses turned aside to the burning bush, God commanded him to take off his shoes. Under the New Covenant, because Christ lives in believers, every workplace, home, and assignment becomes holy ground (01:00:58). Overcoming the "Imposter Syndrome": Addressing insecurity and the inner soundtrack of "Who do you think you are?", God answered Moses' insecurity ("Who am I?") not with self-confidence, but with God-confidence: "I will be with you" (01:05:05, Exodus 3:12). III. The Power of the Name: Yahweh (I AM THAT I AM) The Self-Existent One: Unlike humans who are defined by parentage, origin, or beginning, God revealed Himself as Yahweh (I AM THAT I AM)—eternal, self-sustaining, uncreated, and needing no external fuel (like the unconsumed bush) (01:13:08, Exodus 3:14). Breathed Presence: Referencing the Hebrew root Haya and the divine name Yahweh, God's very name matches the rhythm of human breath (01:15:50). Jesus, the Great I AM: Connecting Old Covenant revelation to Jesus' "I AM" statements in John (Bread of Life, Light of the World, Door, Good Shepherd, Resurrection and Life), proving that where Christ steps in, human inadequacy is completely swallowed up (01:28:40). IV. Four Core Kingdom Principles God Takes the Initiative: History is His story; God initiates pre-blessed plans (01:17:31). God Moves in Response to Prayer: Corporate crying out invites divine intervention (01:18:01). God is the Supplier: When we carry anxiety or sleeplessness over assignments, we carry what belongs to God. God stays up so we can sleep (01:20:28). God Heals Your World From Where He Healed You: God uses personal misery, brokenness, and former wildernesses (Mount Horeb/Sinai) to bring deliverance to others (01:22:56, 2 Corinthians 1:3–4).

Through the SeaIsrael sang at the sea before they understood what freedom would require. What deliverance in your past can you sing about even if the wilderness is still ahead?Exodus 14:21-23, 26-28; 15:1-2Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the Lord drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. And the people of Israel went into the midst of the sea on dry ground, the waters being a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. The Egyptians pursued and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the water may come back upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.” So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its normal course when the morning appeared. And as the Egyptians fled into it, the Lord threw the Egyptians into the midst of the sea. The waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen; of all the host of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea, not one of them remained.Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the Lord, saying,“I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;    the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.The Lord is my strength and my song,    and he has become my salvation;this is my God, and I will praise him,    my father's God, and I will exalt him.

(AI Generated Summary) This sermon examines the seventh plague of hail in Egypt to reveal the incomprehensibility and sovereignty of God, emphasizing that there is none like Him in all the earth. The central argument connects God's hardening of Pharaoh's heart to the theological doctrine of divine election, using the potter and clay analogy from Romans 9 to demonstrate that salvation is entirely of God's grace rather than human will. The text contrasts the superficial fear of punishment exhibited by Pharaoh with the genuine fear of the Lord, which is defined by consistent obedience and action rather than mere verbal confession. By highlighting the futility of idolatry and the pride-killer of recognizing one's status as molded clay, the message calls believers to trust in God's sovereign character and to serve Him consistently, not only in times of distress but in all aspects of life.

How do you know what you're called to do when everything is demanding your attention?Our feeds can put the needs of the entire world in front of us at once. We encounter war, politics, suffering, outrage, advertising, entertainment, and endless opportunities to care. Eventually, many of us find ourselves exhausted, apathetic, or unsure what we're actually supposed to do with our lives.In the final week of Look T(Here), we explore the connection between attention and calling.Throughout Scripture, God's people developed practices that resisted the systems trying to define who they were and what their lives were for. Pharaoh told Israel their value was found in what they could produce. God called them something different. Jesus later stripped away layers of religious complexity and returned to something remarkably simple: love God and love your neighbor.Maybe calling isn't usually about discovering one enormous thing you're supposed to accomplish.Maybe it's learning to faithfully inhabit the life God has already given you.KEY TAKEAWAYS• Too much access to the world's suffering can leave us exhausted or numb.• God has not called us to carry every burden we encounter.• Our attention affects our ability to discern what God may actually be calling us toward.• Calling exists within the ordinary domains of our lives—our relationships, resources, work, communities, and responsibilities.• Sabbath was a practice of resistance that challenged Pharaoh's definition of human worth through production.• Every cultural system has its own version of calling and formation.• Jesus simplifies the calling of God's people around loving God and loving our neighbors.• Giving our attention to God creates space for God to reshape our desires.• Most of our lives will not be defined by dramatic moments of calling, but by ordinary faithfulness where our feet already are.KEY MOMENTS00:00 Attention Shapes Desire, Desire Shapes Life03:24 Living in an Attention Economy06:15 Why We've Lost Touch With Calling07:05 A Tour Through the Algorithm10:45 Compassion Fatigue and Compassion Apathy12:00 God Hasn't Asked You to Carry Everything12:31 Calling in Your Actual Life20:42 Called to Be a Kingdom of Priests21:19 Pharaoh's Calling vs. God's Calling22:18 Sabbath as Resistance25:14 Jesus Announces His Calling28:04 The Greatest Commandment29:05 Every System Has a Call30:38 When Distraction Drowns Out Calling31:03 Your Newsfeed Gives You the World31:58 Faithful Where Your Feet Are32:21 Resisting What Is Forming Us33:15 Giving Our Attention to GodSCRIPTURE REFERENCESExodus 19:3–6Deuteronomy 5:12–15Isaiah 61:1–2Luke 4:16–21Matthew 22:34–40REFLECTION QUESTIONWhat has God actually entrusted to you—and what would it look like to become more faithful right where your feet are?CONNECT WITH USYou don't have to carry the whole world.Following Jesus often begins much closer to home: with the people, responsibilities, resources, and places already in front of us.If this message was meaningful to you, share it with someone and stay connected with Westwinds as we continue learning how to give our attention to God and live faithfully in the lives we've been given.

This sermon examines Ezekiel chapters 29–32, focusing on God's divine judgment against Egypt and its Pharaoh for their destructive sins of pride and unreliability in their relationship to Israel. The author breaks down Ezekiel's seven prophetic laments to highlight how Pharaoh arrogantly claimed creator-like ownership over the Nile River and betrayed Judah by abandoning her to Nebuchadnezzar's invading Babylonian army after offering false hope of military alliance. Through these passages, the sermon illustrates the multi-faceted nature of divine judgment on Egypt —demonstrating how God sovereignly orchestrates geopolitical affairs, uses foreign empires like Babylon to execute His ultimate will, and lowers once-mighty nations to teach humanity the inescapability of judgment and the dangers of self-exaltation.

Midnight in Egypt. A cry no one had ever heard before, and none like it would be heard again. The tenth plague was the worst of them all, and yet in the middle of the judgment, God wrote out a way of escape that anyone could take: a spotless lamb, a doorway, and blood. In this message from the series Is The Old Testament Obsolete?, Pastor Jim Scudder opens Exodus 11 and 12 at Quentin Road Baptist Church on the Feast of Tabernacles weekend and walks through the night of the first Passover. He shows why the lamb lived in the house for four days before it was killed, why no bone could be broken, and how the hyssop, the roasting, and the unleavened bread all point forward to Jesus. Along the way he traces the seven festivals of Israel from Passover to Tabernacles, and explains the Passover Seder traditions of the three matzahs, the four cups, and the empty seat for Elijah. He also takes up a sharp question: if every firstborn died, why didn't Pharaoh? Pastor Scudder lays out the biblical dating of the Exodus and the Pharaoh who fits the evidence. Then he brings it home. Jesus was examined for four days in Jerusalem and no fault was found in Him, and He died at sunset as the Passover lambs were being killed. When the blood is applied by faith, the second death passes over you. Scripture referenced: Isaiah 40:8; 1 Corinthians 5:7; Exodus 11:4-6; Exodus 12:1-2; 1 Corinthians 15:20; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Isaiah 12:3; John 7:37-38; Exodus 12:3; Exodus 12:5-15; Exodus 12:21-23; Exodus 12:46; Exodus 6:6-7; Mark 14:24-25; John 1:29

This sermon examines Exodus 32–33 as Moses confronts the prospect of moving forward without God's presence, highlighting the fear and loss that come when we separate ourselves from Him. Drawing on practical spiritual disciplines—like Frank Laubach's "practice the presence"—the message offers clear steps to cultivate awareness of God in daily life, encouraging listeners to rely on Christ for identity, strength, and guidance. ---- Exodus 33   In chapter 32 of Exodus the Israelites create the golden calf Quote  “I have seen these people,” the Lord said to Moses, “and they are a stiff-necked people.  Now leave me alone so that my anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them. Then I will make you into a great nation.”    Exodus 32:9-10 Quote  So Moses went back to the Lord and said, “Oh, what a great sin these people have committed! They have made themselves gods of gold.  But now, please forgive their sin—but if not, then blot me out of the book you have written.”   Exodus 32:31-32 Quote Now go, lead the people to the place I spoke of, and my angel will go before you.    Exodus 32:33 Quote I will send an angel before you and drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.  Go up to the land flowing with milk and honey. But I will not go with you, because you are a stiff-necked people and I might destroy you on the way.”   Exodus 33:2-3 Moses is confronted with the possibility of moving forward without the Presence of God Quote  But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” And God said, “I will be with you.   Exodus 3:11-12 God has been the source of Moses' strength God has shaped the identity of moses and His people Quote  The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”  Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here.   Exodus 33:14-15 Moses is totally dependent on the ‘Presence of God' “Nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus”.  Romans 8:39 The new Testament Promises While God will be faithful we can separate ourselves from the Presence of God We separate ourselves from God's Presence through Sin and inattentiveness What steps can you take this week to cultivate the Presence of God in your life?  With Reverend Scott Shaw --- Find other Podcasts, Sermon Notes and the Bulletin here. https://www.mvcnaz.org/live Stay in touch with our Church Center App at https://www.mvcnaz.org/churchcenter Contact us through our CONNECT form at https://www.mvcnaz.org/connect

Bishop Jim's insightful messages help others find THEIR METRON through M~otivation E~nlightenment T~ranscendence R~enewal O~utreach and N~etworking Learn more: www.bishinthenow.com Follow Jim Swilley on Youtube to see the videos live Sundays at 11:11 am – https://www.youtube.com/bishinthenow In Part 3 of “If Your Eye Is Single,” Bishop Jim Swilley continues exploring mindset as the internal “setting” through which we interpret our lives. His central argument is that many things traditionally understood as spiritual warfare, strongholds, demons, and adversaries can also be understood as patterns of thought that oppose our purpose and distort our perception. Rather than arguing with an unhealthy setting, we can recognize it, change it, and consciously choose a different response. Through Scripture, personal stories, and unconventional interpretations of biblical imagery, Bishop Jim emphasizes that transformation happens when we stop surrendering authority to inherited beliefs, fear, past experiences, or negative thinking and begin examining the mental settings through which we interpret reality. Difficulty may still come, but our response determines what that difficulty produces in us. Main Takeaways Your mindset functions like a setting. Bishop Jim compares mindset to the settings on a phone, computer, car, or thermostat. When the setting produces the wrong result, arguing with it accomplishes nothing; the setting itself has to change. You are not obligated to believe everything you think. Some thoughts are temporary, while others have become deeply established because of childhood experiences, religious teaching, relationships, trauma, or repeated reinforcement. Recognizing that a thought exists does not require accepting it as truth. Strongholds can be understood as entrenched patterns of thought. Bishop Jim connects Paul's language about spiritual warfare with Paul's instruction about “casting down imaginations” and bringing thoughts into obedience. 2 Corinthians 10:3–5 becomes a major framework for understanding the battle as something occurring within perception and thought. Scripture can reveal truth beyond strict literalism. Much of the message explores biblical stories symbolically rather than exclusively historically. Adam and Eve, Noah, Moses, Pharaoh, the Red Sea, Daniel's Prince of Persia, and other images become ways of discussing consciousness, fear, ego, adversity, transformation, and spiritual awakening. Adversarial thoughts can become your “devil.” Bishop Jim points to the basic idea of an adversary and applies it internally: a thought that continually works against your purpose can function as an adversarial force within your life. This reframes spiritual warfare as recognizing and confronting thoughts that continually undermine who you are becoming. Pressure can reveal abilities you did not know you possessed. Moses standing between Pharaoh and the Red Sea becomes an image of those moments when the only way forward is through. Sometimes we discover what we can do precisely because circumstances leave us no alternative. Stop asking only, “Why is this happening to me?” A more transformative question is: What can this teach me? How can this make me stronger? Bishop Jim uses his upcoming shoulder replacement and current pain as an example of deliberately changing the meaning attached to a difficult experience. Eventually, you have to take ownership of your response. What happened to you may genuinely have been caused by someone else. But continuing to surrender control of your present life to that event keeps the old setting active. We cannot necessarily control what happens, but we have significant influence over how we respond. Feelings do not have to be denied to change your mindset. Bishop Jim specifically acknowledges allowing himself to feel disappointment, pain, or frustration rather than suppressing it. The goal is not pretending something is good; it is refusing to remain mentally trapped there. Repentance can mean changing your thinking. In this framework, repentance becomes the recognition that a way of thinking is no longer producing life and choosing another way to perceive the situation. Key Scriptures Matthew 6:22–23 — “If your eye be single…” The foundational text of the series. Bishop Jim interprets the “single” or healthy eye in terms of healthy perception: when perception changes, what we experience becomes filled with light. Romans 15:4 — Scripture was written for instruction so that through endurance and its encouragement we might maintain hope. 2 Corinthians 10:3–5 — The weapons of our warfare are not carnal; they pull down strongholds, cast down imaginations, and bring thoughts into obedience. This is one of the clearest biblical connections to the message's emphasis on mindset. Daniel 10 — The Prince of Persia becomes an image Bishop Jim uses for entrenched thoughts that seem to delay or resist truths already known within the spirit. Exodus 14 — Moses and the Red Sea illustrate the capacity that can emerge when circumstances force us beyond what we previously believed we could do. Psalm 112:7 — The person whose heart is established is not afraid of bad news. Psalm 138:8 — “The Lord will perfect that which concerns me.” Bishop Jim describes this as one of the truths that became deeply established in his own thinking. Romans 8:28 — “All things work together for good…” The message emphasizes developing a mindset capable of looking for transformation even within difficulty. Romans 12:2 — “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” This captures the larger theme of changing the internal settings through which life is perceived. Philippians 4:7 — The “peace that passes understanding” illustrates an inner experience that can transcend the apparent logic of circumstances. John 16:33 — “In the world you will have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” Quote from Bishop Jim Swilley “You're not obligated to believe everything you think.” — Bishop Jim Swilley That line captures the heart of this installment: thoughts can be examined rather than automatically obeyed. A mindset may have been established years ago and remained silently active—like an alarm setting waiting until 3:00 a.m. to reveal itself. Becoming conscious of the setting gives us the opportunity to change it. Another line that strongly captures the closing movement of the message is: “I'm going to start declaring the end from the beginning. I'm going to prophesy my own resurrection.” — Bishop Jim Swilley The message ultimately moves from examining inherited beliefs to consciously choosing expectation: I will get through this. I will learn from this. I will become stronger. This circumstance does not get to write the ending of my story.

Have you ever made a decision out of fear, acted against God’s Word, or wondered whether your mistakes could disrupt His plan for your life? The story of Abram in Genesis 12 reminds us that human unfaithfulness does not cancel God’s faithfulness. Although Abram responded to fear with deception and failed to trust God’s protection, the Lord remained present and continued working through His promises. God’s faithfulness does not excuse disobedience or remove the consequences of our choices, but it reminds us that our failures do not have the final word. Like Abram, we may struggle to trust God when circumstances feel uncertain, yet His purposes remain secure. Understanding God’s sovereignty, mercy, and grace can give us confidence to repent, pursue obedience, and trust that He is working for our good and His glory—even when we recognize how often we have fallen short. Highlights What Abram’s choices in Genesis 12 reveal about fear, deception, and unfaithfulness How God remained faithful even when Abram failed to trust His promises Why God’s sovereignty does not excuse our disobedience or remove personal responsibility The relationship between human free will and God’s ultimate purposes How God’s mercy and grace meet us when our choices fall short of His will Why we can trust that our mistakes cannot ultimately thwart God’s plans How recognizing God’s faithfulness can motivate us to walk in obedience and trust Want more encouragement throughout your week?

They sent Abram away with his wife and everything that he had. - Genesis 12:20 My middle daughter, Abigail, is only 9 years old, but she can ask some deep questions. On the way to basketball one night, she asked, “Mom, you said that you made a lot of bad choices before you got married; thankfully, God protected you, and His purpose prevailed. Does that mean we can do whatever we want and God will still make things happen?” Whew, that’s a lot for a ten-minute car ride. Gratefully, another example of God’s providence: I’d been studying about Abram and how even though he was unfaithful, God was still faithful. While God wasn’t pleased with Abram’s disobedience, God used Abram’s sinful choices in the fulfillment of his plan for his life. Genesis 12 is a beautiful example of how God uses humanity's sins to achieve His purposes. This chapter opens with God telling Abram to leave his country for a new land. God promises to make Abram into a great nation and to bless him; ultimately, all the families of the earth will be blessed through Abram (Genesis 12:1-3). That’s a pretty weighty promise! Abram responds by packing up his family and moving to the land of Canaan as instructed. Once settled, Abram builds an altar as a sign of worship and dedication to the Lord (Genesis 12:4-9). It would appear that Abram is fully bought in and trusts in God’s plan, but we see in the following verses that’s not the case. Due to a drought, Abram and his wife Sarai had to travel to the land of Egypt. Sarai was very beautiful, and Abram was afraid that they would kill him to take her as Pharaoh’s wife. Abram decided it would be better for him if they claimed to be brother and sister. As a result, Sarai ends up living with the Pharaoh. Some time passes, and it is revealed that Abram and Sarai are not siblings but married. The Pharaoh gets pretty angry, rightfully so, considering God sent plagues on Pharaoh and his household. When confronted, Abram didn’t have a good excuse, not to the Pharaoh and not to the Lord (Genesis 12:10-20). His actions—his deception—were born out of fear; Abram didn’t trust that God would protect and provide, even though He said He would. Even though Abram was unfaithful, God was still faithful. Abram could do nothing to disrupt or distract from God’s purposes. God is always present; He never leaves or forsakes His children (Deuteronomy 31:8). It’s easy for me to look at Abram with a critical eye, “Why didn’t you just trust that God would protect you? He said he would. Look at the mess that could have been avoided if you had simply let God stay in control.” But someone could easily say the same was true for me. I had free will and used it to make decisions that ran counter to God’s Word, and could have faced consequences that would have radically changed the outcome of my life. I am eternally grateful that, because of God’s mercy and grace (the same He has shown throughout humanity’s existence), I ended up marrying my husband and becoming a mom to three beautiful blessings. I admitted to Abigail that I don’t know how exactly it all works; we have choices, but God is in ultimate control. But what I do know is that as God’s children, we can trust that He is working all things for our good and His glory. No matter how hard we try, we don’t have the power to thwart God's plans or purpose–praise the Lord!

Did God only begin to harden Pharaoh's heart *after* Pharaoh had first independently hardened his own heart, as is often thought?   A careful reading of the Exodus story may contain surprises as to when, how, and why God hardened Pharaoh's heart.   Why did Paul, in Romans 9:14-18, refer to this particular story to explain that God is righteous in election and reprobation?   You can watch this message here.

Something is coming, and I am not ready. That thought shows up at the gas pump, in the war headlines, and in the backseat question about whether robots are taking over. In this episode of The Thought Vault, I go straight into the rabbit hole I have been in for three years now. Oil, the Strait of Hormuz, recession forecasts that contradict each other, AI layoff numbers that say two opposite things at once, super intelligence, and whether my kids will even learn to drive.Then I take all of it to Scripture. Ecclesiastes says there is nothing new under the sun. Jesus, asked about the end of the world, opens with a warning about deception and a command not to be alarmed.

Value Based on Creativity and Community, Not Productivity Download There is a very old trick by which empires make themselves appear necessary: they persuade human beings that their value is measured by their usefulness to the machine. The Pharaoh needs workers. The Roman Empire needs soldiers and taxpayers. The feudal lord needs peasants producing grain. The industrial capitalist needs labor. The modern corporation needs "human resources"— which is perhaps the most straight up Orwellian Skynet phrase ever invented, and if they cease to produce—through illness, age, disability, unemployment, or simply exhaustAion—they are subtly invited to regard themselves as having become less of a person. That is the great moral fraud of a production-obsessed society because a human being is not a commercial trader but also not even a unit of economic output.These insight sub-episodes are mirrored on our primary YouTube channel which can be found at https://www.youtube.com/@NilesHeckman/videos

ACTS 7:15-43 - A PROPHET LIKE MOSES - BRIAN SUMNER - 2026ACTS 7:15-43 "So Jacob went down to Egypt; and he died, he and our fathers. 16 And they were carried back to Shechem and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem.God Delivers Israel by Moses17 “But when the time of the promise drew near which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt 18 till another king arose who did not know Joseph. 19 This man dealt treacherously with our people, and oppressed our forefathers, making them expose their babies, so that they might not live. 20 At this time Moses was born, and was well pleasing to God; and he was brought up in his father's house for three months. 21 But when he was set out, Pharaoh's daughter took him away and brought him up as her own son. 22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and deeds.23 “Now when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel. 24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended and avenged him who was oppressed, and struck down the Egyptian. 25 For he supposed that his brethren would have understood that God would deliver them by his hand, but they did not understand. 26 And the next day he appeared to two of them as they were fighting, and tried to reconcile them, saying, ‘Men, you are brethren; why do you wrong one another?' 27 But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? 28 Do you want to kill me as you did the Egyptian yesterday?' 29 Then, at this saying, Moses fled and became a dweller in the land of Midian, where he had two sons.30 “And when forty years had passed, an Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire in a bush, in the wilderness of Mount Sinai. 31 When Moses saw it, he marveled at the sight; and as he drew near to observe, the voice of the Lord came to him, 32 saying, ‘I am the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.' And Moses trembled and dared not look. 33 ‘Then the Lord said to him, “Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground. 34 I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt; I have heard their groaning and have come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send you to Egypt.” '35 “This Moses whom they rejected, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge?' is the one God sent to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the Angel who appeared to him in the bush. 36 He brought them out, after he had shown wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years.Israel Rebels Against God37 “This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear.'38 “This is he who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the Angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, the one who received the living oracles[d] to give to us, 39 whom our fathers would not obey, but rejected. And in their hearts they turned back to Egypt, 40 saying to Aaron, ‘Make us gods to go before us; as for this Moses who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.' 41 And they made a calf in those days, offered sacrifices to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands. 42 Then God turned and gave them up to worship the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the Prophets:‘Did you offer Me slaughtered animals and sacrifices during forty years in the wilderness,O house of Israel?43 You also took up the tabernacle of Moloch,And the star of your god Remphan,Images which you made to worship;And I will carry you away beyond Babylon.'"To support this channel and partner with Brian in Ministryhttps://www.briansumner.net/support/For more on Brianhttp://www.briansumner.nethttps://www.instagram.com/BRIANSUMNER/https://www.facebook.com/BRIANSUMNEROFFICIALTo listen to Brians Podcast, click below.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Purchase Brians Marriage book at https://www.amazon.com/Never-Fails-Da...Brian is a full time "Urban Missionary" both locally and internationally with a focus on MISSIONS - MARRIAGES - MINISTRY. Since coming to faith in 2004 doors continued opening locally and internationally to do more and more ministry with a focus on Evangelism, Outreach Missions, Marriage, Counsel, Schools, Festivals, Conferences and the like.  Everything about this ministry is made possible because of people personally partnering through the non profit. God Bless and thank you. †Support the showSUPPORT THE SHOW

Tuesday, 22 September 2026   ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool”'? Matthew 22:44   “He said, Lord, to the ‘Lord, Mine', ‘You sit from ‘rights, Me', Until if I should put the ‘enemies, Yours' – footstool, the ‘feet, Yours'.'” (CG)   In the previous verse, Jesus questioned how David, under the influence of the Spirit, called the Christ “Lord.” In other words, if the Christ is his descendant, how could he subordinate himself in such a manner? Understanding this, Jesus cites the Scripture where this is proven so. He goes to Psalm 110:1, beginning with, “He said, Lord, to the ‘Lord, Mine'.”   In the Greek, the same word, kurios, is used in both instances. The meaning of the word must be determined from the context. However, regardless of the context, Jesus calls this person “Lord.” He thus subordinates himself to this coming Person.   As for the context, it is found in the Hebrew –   “‘Oracle, Yehovah' to my Lord. You must sit to my right Until I will make your hatings – footstool to your feet.” Psalm 110:1 (CG)    David identifies that Yehovah, the covenant God of Israel, spoke an oracle to his Lord. The word is adoni, my Lord. It thus indicates a person to whom he has subordinated himself. The question Jesus asks is how David could designate a person descending from him in this manner. And more, the psalm continues, saying, “‘You sit from ‘rights, Me'.'”   The right, meaning the position of the right hand, is the position of all power and authority. Yehovah has spoken through David that this Person, the Christ, would sit at the position of all power and authority of Yehovah. If this were a mere person, it would be unthinkable that he would be given all of God's power. And yet, that is what is being stated. The words citing the psalm continue, saying, “Until if I should put the ‘enemies, Yours' – footstool, the ‘feet, Yours'.”   The meaning is that the enemies of the Christ will be placed as a footstool for His feet. But if this Person is at the right hand of Yehovah, it means that He is the agent by which this is accomplished.   To understand this, one can go to the account of Joseph in Egypt, who was given the full authority of Pharaoh in order to effect the purposes of Pharaoh. This is true of Mordecai's authority in Esther as well.   The Lord God, Yehovah Elohim, has stated that all authority in heaven and on earth would be granted to a descendant of David, of whom David acknowledges him as his Lord. This is what Jesus has presented to the Pharisees as a question that must be bconsidered in the light of the logical process discussed in the previous verse's life application section.   Life application: Using the same logic as discussed in the previous verse, whether we believe in Jesus or not, and whether we accept the premise of Jesus' full authority, we would have to conclude that the Bible clearly presents Jesus as having the full power and authority of Yehovah Elohim, the Lord God.   Scripture is given by God through man. If the New Testament is Scripture, which it is claimed to be so even within itself, then this is the obvious conclusion. Scripture says the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary. Thus, Jesus would be the Son of the Most High, meaning the Son of God.   Despite being a Man, He is also God. Jesus fulfilled the law, as clearly portrayed in the gospels and as explained in the epistles. Jesus died in fulfillment of the law, not for His own sin, but for the sin of others. Jesus came out of the grave, prevailing over sin for us. But it says in Romans that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. The meaning is “all men,” because all have sinned (Romans 5:12).   If this is true, and if the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23), then Jesus cannot merely be a human. If He were, He would have been born with Adam's sin. The logical conclusion is that because His Father is God, and because God overshadowed Mary, the offspring – though being a human – is also God. Thus, He is exempted from the “all have sinned” as stated in Romans.   After Jesus' resurrection, He said that all authority had been given to Him, just as promised by the words of David to the Christ. In Mark 16, it says that Jesus sat down at the right hand of God, just as promised in the words of David to Christ. This is confirmed in Acts and Hebrews. Paul speaks of it in his epistles.   In other words, even if you don't believe that the Bible is the word of God, nor do you believe in Jesus or that He is God, if you fairly and properly evaluate the Bible, it is clear that this is what the Bible presents. This is where faith comes in. One must not only mentally acknowledge that this is what Scripture teaches, but he must have faith that it is so.   Lord God, we believe the Bible is Your word. We believe that Jesus is proclaimed to be the Messiah and God incarnate. We believe that faith in Him is sufficient to restore us to You. Thank You for the hope we possess. We will live in Your presence forever and ever because of what You have done in sending Jesus. Hallelujah and Amen.

Fans of the house romance also get updates, with the hosts debating the status and game impact of Drew and Melody's so-called “angst mans” dynamic. Maggie challenges the backlash over Melody choosing to evict Yash, arguing this move keeps the game open and readable for all.

In this Weekend Torah Teaching, Dennis Prager continues his study of Moses and the burning bush, exploring what makes Moses such a remarkable choice to lead the Jewish people out of Egypt. When God calls Moses to confront Pharaoh, Moses does not respond with confidence or ambition. Instead, he asks, “Who am I?” Dennis explains why Moses's reluctance and humility are among the very qualities that make him worthy of leadership. Dennis then examines Moses's second question: “Who are You?” Why does Moses need to know God's name? Dennis explores the profound meaning behind God's answer, “I am what I am,” and what it reveals about the nature of God and humanity's ability to understand Him. But Dennis believes there is an even deeper lesson hidden in God's response to Moses. How can Moses know that God is truly with him? Dennis argues that, just as Moses would only know God's hand was guiding him after successfully completing his mission, we often recognize God's role in our own lives only in retrospect. What does Moses's story teach us about faith, doubt, and recognizing God's presence in our lives?

BB28 Friday Live Feed Update September 18, 2026 Watch the podcast on YouTube! Big Brother 28 rolls ahead with alliances tested after a wild double eviction and a fast-forward game twist. Hosts Taran Armstrong and Pooya return for a lively recap as everyone wonders who's in charge with only five houseguests left in the game. With “button curses” and back-to-back competition wins on everyone's minds, the house is buzzing as plans for the next eviction get underway. The episode kicks off with Taran and Pooya breaking down the double eviction night, including Melody's clutch wins in both the Blockbuster and the following HoH (“What the Bleep”), making her the first to snag both in a row this season. Barrett and Yash end up evicted after a tense split-vote, while Devens pulls off another must-win Veto to save himself for the third week running. Strategic talk centers on how Melody, Dee, and Taylor must navigate the Drew-Devens duo, all while a new “button curse” throws $10,000 into the mix and accelerates the eviction schedule. As the tiny HoH comp plays out live, the feeds cut before anyone can confirm the winner—leading the hosts to analyze clues, with Devens looking like the likely HoH. Pooya questions if houseguests get better at comps from being in the house versus outside guests like Mike Bloom, sparking a fun debate. Taran notes Melody's rare achievement of winning both Blockbuster and HoH on the same night and how that shifts the house's balance. Both hosts dig into Dee's DR strategy, highlighting her push to team up with Melody to block the boys from a final two pact. Vote math, especially around who ends up as the target if someone comes off the block via Veto, leads to deep talk about the dangers of this stage of the game. The hosts share their personal rankings for who they want to see win and debate who could actually take the win if they reach the end. With alliances shifting and comp beasts still in play, the big question is: Will Devens' competition streak make him unstoppable, or can the others finally take a shot while he's vulnerable? Tune in now for the full breakdown and to hear all the near-miss scenarios, social strategy, and what could come next in the tightest final five yet.

Hosts Taran Armstrong and Pooya return for a lively recap as everyone wonders who's in charge with only five houseguests left in the game. With “button curses” and back-to-back competition wins on everyone's minds, the house is buzzing as plans for the next eviction get underway. The episode kicks off with Taran and Pooya breaking down the double eviction night, including Melody's clutch wins in both the Blockbuster and the following HoH (“What the Bleep”), making her the first to snag both in a row this season. Barrett and Yash end up evicted after a tense split-vote, while Devens pulls off another must-win Veto to save himself for the third week running. Strategic talk centers on how Melody, Dee, and Taylor must navigate the Drew-Devens duo, all while a new “button curse” throws $10,000 into the mix and accelerates the eviction schedule. As the tiny HoH comp plays out live, the feeds cut before anyone can confirm the winner—leading the hosts to analyze clues, with Devens looking like the likely HoH. Pooya questions if houseguests get better at comps from being in the house versus outside guests like Mike Bloom, sparking a fun debate. Taran notes Melody's rare achievement of winning both Blockbuster and HoH on the same night and how that shifts the house's balance. Both hosts dig into Dee's DR strategy, highlighting her push to team up with Melody to block the boys from a final two pact. Vote math, especially around who ends up as the target if someone comes off the block via Veto, leads to deep talk about the dangers of this stage of the game. The hosts share their personal rankings for who they want to see win and debate who could actually take the win if they reach the end. With alliances shifting and comp beasts still in play, the big question is: Will Devens' competition streak make him unstoppable, or can the others finally take a shot while he's vulnerable? Tune in now for the full breakdown and to hear all the near-miss scenarios, social strategy, and what could come next in the tightest final five yet.
